Robust O&G Malaysian sector seen in 2014


Really? Can I get an insider from PETRONAS to say the same things?

Dateline 2014-01-09:

Local oil and gas (O&G) service providers continue to be in focus after Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) started the year with a five-year umbrella contract awarded to four engineering services contractors.

Fabricators like SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd, TH Heavy Engineering Bhd,Malaysia Marine & Heavy Engineering Holdings Bhd (MMHE) and Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd were among the much-talked-about indirect beneficiaries of the contracts awarded to Technip Consultant (M) Sdn BhdPerunding Ranhill Worley Sdn BhdRNZ Integrated (M) Sdn Bhd and MMC Oil & Gas Engineering Sdn Bhd.

Petronas is expected to conduct a closed competitive bidding among the four parties to select the technically capable and commercially attractive bidder, with the work scope covering domestic upstream O&G engineering services, including front-end engineering design and detailed design works, of which generally run into multi-billion-dollar contracts.

This is part of the national oil company’s RM300bil capital expenditure budget till 2017 in a bid to reverse declining production.
